reach in their site is taken from.... irrelevant. Generally G6 is long and low. I use to have 2 BH , both Large, but in G6 it has to be M for me ( 182cm, 83cm inseam ) . BTW really well made frames. Accuracy, finish - some "big" brands could learn a lot from BH. If someone like "stiffness" unlimited + very racy handling, try G6 - you won't be disappointed.

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

there's disc and caliper versions... who says you must choose disc ?

from 2nd hand, if disc will make a speed difference for you , I'm jealous :) really.

Since this is the latest trend i guess we have to get used to it.

I expect in one year it will be so much bla bla towards disc brakes, so when we read about bikes it will seem rim brakes did hardly not work :lol:

One could debate how much drag such a small rotor and caliper can induce drag!?

Never the less, it looks like a nice bike for the money.

I know places where frameset you can buy for 1200-1400€ , so it's extremely good value for €/$. But BH is not so much Campagnolo friendly, specially for cranks bigger than 52 :( .

How is it not Campagnolo friendly in regards to chainring size? I've never heard of that.

I don't know about chainring specific constraint. The fact is that bottom bracket is 386EVO. So you can use whichever crankset compatible with that.
As owner of a G6 (2015 model), you can have it with rim brakes and it´s a joy to ride: light(ish) 890gr size SM, 310gr fork and really agile race oriented frameset, with a really good quality of the manufacturing


Note: disc version is noted G7. So... G6 = rim brakes; G7 = disc brakes

Campagnolo FD has different design than Shimano / Sram. Some frames has braze to low and/or to close to seattube.
Example: CRUX - you can install compact crank with S/S FD but only max 46 with Campy.

I saw somewhere warning according to BH Aerolight : max chainring for Campagnolo : 53 ( so TT "low cadence-big (54,56) ring" guys "suffer" )

It must just be a photo mock up. There doesn't look to be a hose for the front brake either.
